Ahead of any announcement of a 4th telco, M1 surprises us with a new mobile plan. Called mySIM, you can get a $30 monthly subscription for 300 min talk time, 1000 sms, and more importantly 3GB of data. If you sign a 12 month contract, the bundled data increases to 5GB. The difference is that these plans are essentially no frills, you would not be able to purchase a handset at a discount.

The plan also comes with free incoming calls, unlimited free calls to 3 M1 numbers, promotional waiver of first month’s subscription for Caller Number Display for new line and voicemail Service. After the initial month waiver, caller number display is charged at $5.35 per month. As a no frills plan, Corporate discount and Senior / Youth Benefits are not applicable on mySIM plans.(more…)

The LG Magna LTE is the latest LG mid-range smartphone to be available in Singapore. If you are looking for a budget alternative to the LG G4, then the Magna comes close in terms of design and with a subtle curved display.

As LG describes, the Magna LTE sees the pairing of the most essential hardware with LG’s premium design elements and user experience. The LG Magna LTE is designed to fit more comfortably in the palm of one’s hand with its subtle 3000mm radius curved display. In-cell touch display technology on the Magna brings the on-screen images closer to the fingers for improved sensitivity and more direct touch response. In addition, LG is carrying over popular UX features originally designed for its premium smartphones. Gesture Shot, for instance, makes it easy to take selfies with a hand gesture that starts a three-second countdown. Glance View allows users to quickly access key information such as time, recent messages or missed calls with a simple downward swipe of the screen, even when the display is off.
